Hurdling Overseas Earnings: What do the Forecasts Tell Us?

Overseas earnings were even better than expected during the first quarter (Q1) of 2017. Global equity analysts were looking for strong earnings growth from overseas companies after years of flat to declining earnings; for the most part, those markets delivered. Stock markets themselves responded, with international markets generally outperforming the S&P 500 Index. Frequently after earnings are released, analysts may reduce future growth expectations, often based on conservative comments from companies as they manage expectations. However, earnings expectations only decreased modestly during this period, and actually increased further for some regions. It is great to see continued optimism on corporate fundamentals, but it could prove challenging for companies to outpace expectations again.
